Another particularly interesting Bandcamp discovery is Songs for Sad Poets Vol. III, the latest collaboration between Tehran-based composer Siavash Amini and Brooklyn writer Eugene Thacker.
Their project deliberately destabilises the boundaries between poetry, voice, composition and sound art.
Rather than functioning as conventional spoken word over musical accompaniment, the record treats language itself as material that can be reshaped inside the composition.
For adventurous listeners, it provides a compelling counterweight to this weekend's rock-heavy release calendar.
